wger 1-Click deployment on Cloudron

[OrcVole]

First of all, thank you for wger; it packaged remarkably cleanly, and the docker-compose reference deployment made the architecture easy to follow.

There is now a community package of wger 2.6 for Cloudron, the self-hosting platform, so Cloudron users can run wger with managed backups, updates and user management.

Package repository: https://github.com/OrcVole/wger-cloudron

https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/15769/wger-community-package-now-available

It is listed on the Cloudron community app store, and installs from this versions URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OrcVole/wger-cloudron/main/CloudronVersions.json

What works, all verified on a live installation before publishing: the web application, the official mobile apps against the JWT API (online use), media uploads, email, the Celery workers, and single sign-on through Cloudron's OpenID Connect integration mapped onto the bundled django-allauth (accounts are provisioned automatically on first sign-in, while public self-registration stays off).

One honest gap: PowerSync, and with it the mobile apps' offline sync, is not part of this first package version; ordinary online mobile use is verified working.

While packaging I kept notes on the few places where a constrained platform differs from the reference deployment, offered gratefully in case any are useful upstream: https://github.com/OrcVole/wger-cloudron/blob/main/docs/FOR-UPSTREAM.md (the headline items: the core.0023 publication migration requires database superuser privilege that managed platforms do not grant; wger bootstrap treats a half-initialised database as initialised, so an interrupted first run cannot resume; and the CLI's invoke startup needs a readable HOME).

Happy to answer questions about the package here or on the package repository; application issues of course belong to wger itself, and I redirect Cloudron users accordingly.

Hi! Thanks for packaging the app, I've added a link from our docs

I've only glanced over your docs for upstream, but they all seem sensible points, I'll see what I can do. As for powersync, is there a reason it's not included? I know it can be a pain to setup correctly, but I can help you if you need some pointers. Nevermind, it's of course because of the publication 😅

@OrcVole FYI all those four problems will be fixed with the next release (which should be ready in around two weeks)
